Energy‑Efficient Solutions Offered by Commercial Electricians

With energy costs on the rise and environmental obligations tightening, businesses no longer see energy as just another bill. It’s a metric to manage. Smart organisations now prioritise upgrades that cut consumption and boost sustainability. In this landscape, commercial electricians are more than installers – they’re partners helping businesses become leaner, greener and more future‑proof.

Here are the energy‑efficient services DGEC offers and the benefits your business can realise.

LED Lighting Upgrades

One of the fastest and most visible upgrades is swapping out traditional lighting (halogen, metal halide, fluorescent) for LED systems. These can reduce energy usage by as much as 80% in many setups, while lasting much longer and requiring far less maintenance.

LED lighting also improves workplace comfort – more consistent light, fewer flickers and cooler operation. In larger sites, DGEC can perform lighting design, layout optimisation and phased rollout so your business doesn’t face a massive up‑front cost all at once.

Smart Building Controls & Automation

Lighting and HVAC are big energy users. You don’t need them running at full speed 24/7. Through motion sensors, timers, daylight sensors and smart thermostats, DGEC can bring intelligent control to your systems.

These controls detect when spaces are empty or when daylight is sufficient, and then dim or shut off power accordingly. That avoids wasteful usage in low‑traffic zones or after hours. We also integrate these solutions into existing building management systems (BMS) for seamless performance.

Energy‑Efficient Heating & Ventilation

Efficient lighting is only part of the picture. Heating, cooling and air circulation are big levers too. DGEC can install low‑energy fans, zoned climate control systems and efficient electric heating panels.

Zoning means only occupied areas are conditioned – you don’t waste energy heating or cooling entire floors when only parts are in use. And when your building work or retrofits require compliance with energy regulations like Part L, we offer guidance and installations aligned with those standards.

Solar PV & Renewable Energy Integration

Want to generate your own electricity and reduce reliance on the grid? DGEC helps commercial clients install or prepare infrastructure for solar PV systems.

That brings two key advantages: lower utility bills and possible incentives or tax breaks. Over time, the energy generated on-site contributes to your sustainability goals (ESG) and reduces carbon impact. In many sectors, showing you generate at least part of your power in-house carries reputational value, too.

EV Charging Station Installation

With more staff, clients or visitors driving electric vehicles, offering charging is a smart move. DGEC installs commercial‑grade EV chargers – ideal for offices, retail, hospitality and mixed-use sites.

This adds convenience, supports green transport and can become part of your environmental credentials. A business that offers facilities for EV drivers sends a strong message about your values.

Energy Audits & Compliance Checks

Before recommending upgrades, we start by understanding your current systems. DGEC performs energy audits and inspections to identify inefficiencies.

We also carry out Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICR), PAT testing and safety checks to ensure systems operate properly and safely. When inefficiencies or faults emerge, we map them to solutions that reduce waste and improve performance.

Emergency Lighting & Power Backup Solutions

Safety can’t be compromised. Emergency lighting and backup power systems must meet regulations while also being energy aware. DGEC installs energy‑efficient emergency lighting – low-wattage fixtures that still meet safety standards.

We also design backup systems smartly so that in a power cut, essential circuits run without waste and non-essential sections remain off until needed.
